It was Valentine’s Day, and the streets were bustling with couples exchanging gifts, chocolates, and roses. Love was in the air—restaurants were packed with candlelit dinners, and laughter echoed through the chilly evening.

But Aella and Emily had different plans.

Instead of braving the crowds, they chose the comfort of each other’s presence, wrapped up in a cocoon of warmth beneath a thick, cozy blanket. The soft glow of fairy lights illuminated the room as they lay together, bodies entwined, sharing whispers and laughter. The scent of vanilla candles lingered in the air, mixing with the faint aroma of hot cocoa resting on the nightstand.

They didn’t need grand gestures or extravagant gifts. This—just the two of them, nestled close, feeling the gentle rhythm of each other’s breaths—was their perfect Valentine’s Day.
